Tourist nearly tumbles down Niagara Falls to retrieve cellphone

A Polish tourist was rescued from an icy spot near the brink of Niagara Falls after he slid down a hill as he tried to retrieve a dropped cell phone, reports the Associated Press via EngadgetMobile.

"I didn't realize (how slick it was). I was just trying to pick up my phone and I slid down," said Waldek Kubicki, 29, who was not harmed. Kubicki estimated he slid 200 feet, to within 50 feet of the Falls."
